Approved Correspondence Course

Illinois Cosmetologists are required to complete 14 hours of continuing education before your license renewal on September 30th of each odd numbered year. A maximum of 50% (7 hours) of the total CE hours may be obtained through home study or online courses. The other 7 hours must be in the classroom.

That said, not all online and correspondence continuing education courses are approved in Illinois for license renewal, so before taking a course other than ours you will want to make sure that the course is approved.
